Consulting Associate recruitment
Cambridge Associates was founded in the early 1970s to assist nonprofit institutions with the investment of their endowment assets. Today, we provide investment consulting, financial planning and proprietary capital markets research to over 900 clients, including charities, colleges and universities, foundations, medical institutions, museums, other endowed nonprofit institutions, and families. More than 200 of these clients are domiciled outside of the United States. Cambridge Associates’ clients represent over US$4.3 trillion in assets in all asset categories, including equities, bonds, non-US investments, real estate, venture capital, hedge funds, leveraged buyout funds, oil and gas partnerships, and many other types of investments. We monitor the performance of nearly all major institutional investment managers and provide an advanced monitoring service for our clients to evaluate alternative assets managers such as venture capital and real estate firms.
We have a professional staff consisting of approximately 220 Consultants and 170 Consulting Associates in eight offices located in Arlington, Beijing, Boston, Dallas, London, Menlo Park, Singapore and Sydney. We select our employees with great attention to realize their potential in becoming valuable members of a collegial, intelligent and hard-working team. Due to continued growth we are currently seeking to add Consulting Associates in our Singapore office. We are currently recruiting for individuals who are either recent graduates or have 1 to 2 years of work experience.
Consulting Associate
Consulting Associates (CAs) work closely with members of the consulting staff in providing investment and capital markets research, analysis, and advice to our clients. Responsibilities include gathering and analyzing historical asset allocation, spending, and performance data; evaluating financial histories; analyzing investment managers’ portfolios; preparing exhibits and other presentation documentation; and answering client questions and requests. CAs often attend client and investment manager meetings.
Each CA generally is responsible for six to ten clients and handles several projects at once. Every CA is responsible for arranging his or her schedule and priorities in order to meet deadlines; however, there is a strong tradition of teamwork and cooperation among members of the consulting associate staff to help manage the workload. Although the position involves quantitative analysis, there is also a strong qualitative component as CAs work to describe market conditions and relay investment recommendations to clients in written reports.
